A Palestinian man has died of the injuries he sustained during the recent eight-day Israeli military onslaught on the blockaded Gaza Strip.


Zeidan al-Nahhal, 48, succumbed to his wounds in an Egyptian hospital on Sunday, Ma'an news agency reported.

Several people have died from their injuries suffered during Israel's recent aggression on the Gaza Strip.

On November 14, Israel launched a deadly offensive on the besieged Gaza Strip, which killed over 160 Palestinians and injured some 1,200 others.

In retaliation, Palestinian resistance fighters incessantly poured rockets and missiles onto Israeli cities killing at least five Israelis, including one soldier.

Egypt announced on November 21 that the Israeli regime and the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, had reached a ceasefire agreement.

The Israeli assault on Gaza caused more than USD1.2 billion in direct and indirect damages.

Hamas spokesman Taher al-Nunu said Israeli raids had cost USD 545 million, while indirect damages added up to some USD 700 million.

Nunu said the eight-day war had completely destroyed 200 homes and partially damaged another 8,000.

Another 42 non-residential buildings, including the Hamas government headquarters, were also completely destroyed.
